About Me

I have to admit that I never really understood how much attorneys really do until I decided to open my own non-profit charity. I had always thought that attorneys either defended people in court or helped prosecute them! When opening my non-profit, I realized that there was a maze of legal paperwork that I had to complete along with what seemed like a million regulations I had to abide by, and even though I am an intelligent person, I found it all very confusing. I finally sought the help of an attorney after trying to get started alone, and they explained everything to me in plain English and made achieving my dream much easier. I know others out there are likely having problems they don't realize attorneys can help them with, so I decided to make a blog to share what I have learned with others. Please come back often!
